Ballarat High recognised the NEED for a shared learning and more focus on student engagement. Traditions have begun to be borken down, a new journey is travelling down a road less travelled and visions are growing.

In 2009 the Learning Adviser Program was introduced. This grew from a need being seen and from conversations being had formally and informally, the times they are a changin (Dylan, 1967).
What is Learning Advisers about?
Personalising Learning
Putting Learning first
Every student in the school having a significant adult who is familiar with their learning goals, dreams and aspirations.
Challenging the staff to ask 'Where is that student?
The journey has begun, it is not complete, it is not a short journey and people are gradually getting on board.
Part of the journey has been around EI - Emotional Intelligence.
